Second graders have been STEAMing it up in Mrs. Kensinger’s classroom. After reading several interpretations of The Three Little Pigs, students were challenged to engineer a prototype for a structure that could withstand the huffing and puffing of the Big Bad Wolfe! Students followed the design process of Asking, Imagining, Creating, Testing and Improving their designs as they prepared to test each prototype against the power of a hair dryer. Construction materials included straws, connectors and Playdough. Children concluded that a sturdy cubical or triangular type of structure with a strong foundation seemed to withstand the wind the best!
